Tottenham’s cockerel badge is a nod to the club's namesake, Sir Henry "Harry" Hotspur, who famously rode into battle with spurs on his heels and enjoyed the sport of cockfighting. The club adopted the cockerel-on-the club's football emblem, to symbolize a fierce fighting spirit. I expect there is a local five-a-side tournament that they have snatched too!!! 

The club is named after Harry Hotspur (Sir Henry Percy), a 14th-century English nobleman featured in Shakespeare's Henry IV. He was notorious for his aggressive, attacking nature on the battlefield. The Stadium Mascot: The symbol was popularized in 1909 when a former player crafted a bronze cast of a cockerel standing on a football. It famously sat atop the roof of their historic White Hart Lane Stadium and remains a fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to this day. The Fighting Spirit: Because gamecocks (fighting roosters) were fitted with sharp metal "spurs," the club embraced the bird as a clever representation of their never-say-die attitude.

Have a nice day xxx

MAN UTD RUBBISH...TAKEN TO "COURT"!!

24th May 2022

Manchester United didn't enjoy the best of seasons in 2021/22 but when on this day the BBC announced, on their screen, that 'Manchester United are rubbish', it came as a bit of a shock to the viewing public. The text announcing that opinion popped up on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen during a tennis update that Tuesday morning. Later that day the BBC apologised to any United fans who might have been offended by the comment. They said that someone learning how to operate the ticker - presumably a Man City fan!! - had been writing 'random things' and a technical problem had seen that test ticker appear on the live screen for a short period. Ouch!

AND.....Steven Gerrard made his first-team debut for Liverpool on November 29th 1998 in a Premier League match against Blackburn at Anfield and on 24th May 2015 he played his 504th and last League match for the club. He scored Liverpool's only goal at Stoke but it wasn't a memorable last game for the Reds' legend. In fact, the match saw a scoreline he hadn't experienced in any of his previous 503 League matches for the club (and hadn't happened in his lifetime) - a 6-1 defeat!
